For the PP who is trying to paint me as elitist that I am complaining that RM has "put in "not as qualified" RM kids in with your super duper smart kids", I do not consider my kids as super duper smart. I have already mentioned that there are many qualified kids in RM who would succeed in the magnet program, and they should be in the cohort in 9th grade. In fact JWMS students have a quota of 25/30 seats in 9th grade through the application process. I also know there are many similar kids who are rejected ever year with statement that "RM magnet program does not have enough seats for all qualified" students. I have helped around 10 parents over the years to write their appeal letters and only 4 have succeeded. All 10 were as smart (if not smarter) than my kids. I have a problem when RM kids who do not have to prove their "qualification" anymore can get into the magnet program in 11th grade, when many non-RM kids like these are refused a seat even though the selection committee finds them qualified to succeed in the program.[/quote]

You're complaining that it's not fair that kids who are at RM get to take RMIB classes even though they're not in RMIB, when kids who aren't at RM don't. Is that it?

Would it be more fair to tell kids who are at RM that they don't get to take RMIB classes? I don't think so.[/quote]
